Roscoe couldn't come with us so he spent his time at the Kennel Inn living it up in deluxe doggie style. He got to chill in his private suite with a raised doggie bed, partake in pizza parties, play with new doggie pals, and eat lots of yummy frozen pumpkin treats! We missed him bunches, and I'm sure he missed us too, but he loved his time at the Kennel Inn!
We had such a good time just getting to relax and visit with each other. We hit up The Mall (literally its called The Mall) for some light shopping and for the Easter Egg Hunt Cage of Doom 2012. We even made a side trip to Ellis, KS to check out their sweet train museum and play in the park. This little town ended up being perfect for all of us, there was a train museum for Karson, a sweet park with a neat ball field for the boys to practice, its the boyhood home of Mr. Chrysler for our car buffs, but the best part of all is that their high school mascot was the Railroaders! Peggy and Kirk were Railroaders back in the day in Durand, MI and honestly how common are Railroaders as mascots? This was a pretty sweet find.
It was also great to see our four fabulous nieces and nephews. They are getting so big! And they crack me up! I got to teach Ali how to play Draw Something with me and Geoff and I taught Karson how to eat like a "piggy." Doug and Amber, you're welcome. We love them dearly, but this definitely confirmed that we aren't ready for kids any time soon. They wore us out! Watching them hunt Easter Eggs together brought back memories of my Easters with Danielle, Darren and Hannah. There is something to be said to have cousins who are such good friends!
Although we didn't really "do" much, it was a great weekend. I am truly blessed to have gained such an awesome second family. I'm so glad that they have welcomed me in with open arms and treat me as their own. It was a different Easter than any I've celebrated before, but it will definitely go down as my favorite first Easter as a Karhoff!
